　　We have also operated an after-school art school in which 150 children attend each week.

　　business. We have never received grants or donations. In fact，we believe that grants are often more of a problem for organizations than a benefit. We always want to be free to do what we want and the only way to be really free is to earn one's own money rather than begging for grants. We support our projects from the income of the magazine and our art school.

　　My mother is ill，and I will take her to hospital tomorrow since my father is on a business trip. I will take care of my mother until she is better，so I have to ask for several days' leave. I am very interested in the topic of American culture. It is really a pity that I miss it. I wonder if there will be any recording of the lecture. If so, I can listen to it when it is convenient. All in all，I will do anything I can to make up my missed lecture as soon as possible.

　　Thank you very much.

　　Yours，

　　Li_Jin
